This half term we had another eclectic mix of activities on offer. The sculpture activities seemed particularly popular – including making abstract sculptures out of bike parts, more delicate sculptures out of wet toilet paper (surprisingly able to hold a shape) and of course many varied and imaginative cardboard creations!
This time we also had a few bold children embarking on a 3-day project in which a small group designed and constructed a fish tank, complete with a futuristic city inside – called Fishtropolis. You can see their amazing engineering at work with the cardboard struts, cut, painted and then assembled. Inside they constructed seaweed, sand, bike-part skyscrapers, and plastic cup/toilet roll buildings. On the outside the acetate formed the glass and there was even a lid! They really showed their ingenuity as well as their collaborative working (discussing and designing the project as they went along).
